<Device configuration>
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a device configuration of the server 100. Referring to FIG. 2, server 100 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 10 for controlling the entire apparatus, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 11 for storing a program executed by CPU 10, and a program executed by CPU 10. A RAM (Random Access Memory) 12 serving as a work area when executing the operation, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 13 for storing various data, and a network controller 14 for controlling communication with other devices. Including.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a device configuration of the terminal device 300. Referring to FIG. 3, a terminal device 300 is a CPU 30 for controlling the entire device, a ROM 31 for storing a program executed by the CPU 30, and a work area when the CPU 30 executes the program. A RAM 32 for storing data and a network controller 35 for controlling communication with other devices are included. Further, the terminal device 300 includes a display 33 and an operation device 34. The operating device 34 is, for example, a button or a touch panel.

<Overview of operation>
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an outline of an operation for displaying a communication history in this system. The terminal device 300 is preinstalled with a program (application) for performing a communication history display operation. A user of the terminal device 300 who wants to display the communication history on the terminal device 300 activates the application on the terminal device 300. Then, on the designation screen (not shown), a communication partner that is a target for displaying a communication history with the user is designated (step S1). The designation in step S1 may be performed by the user inputting information for designating a communication partner on a screen (not shown). Alternatively, when a user performs a specific operation on a screen displaying a communication history such as facsimile or mail, a communication partner in the communication history displayed on the screen may be automatically specified. When receiving the designation of the communication partner, the terminal device 300 transmits information specifying the communication partner to the server 100 (step S2).

  When receiving the designation of the communication partner from the terminal device 300, the server 100 acquires the communication history between the user of the terminal device 300 and the designated communication partner from each communication device 500 (step S3). The timing at which the server 100 acquires the communication history from the communication device 500 is not limited to the timing at which the designation of the communication partner is received from the terminal device 300. The server 100 may acquire a communication history from the communication device 500 and store it in the HDD 13 at a predetermined timing such as a predetermined time interval. In this case, when the server 100 receives the designation of the communication partner from the terminal device 300 in step S2, the server 100 reads the corresponding communication history from the communication history stored in the HDD 13 in step S3.

  Note that when the communication means is mail, the server 100 receives the reception specified by “CC” or “BCC” in addition to the transmission source or reception destination specified by “TO” or “FROM” as the designated communication partner. A communication history including the previously specified communication partner and the user of the terminal device 300 may be acquired from the mail server 500B.

  Based on the communication date and time of each acquired (or read) communication history, the server 100 determines the display order when displaying information representing the communication history on the terminal device 300 (step S4). The server 100 displays information representing the communication history of each of the two or more types of communication means in chronological order based on the communication time at the communication means. Therefore, in step S4, the server 100 refers to the communication date / time (transmission date / time, reception date / time) of each communication history regardless of the communication means, and sets the display order in the order of the date / time.

  Note that the information representing the communication history may be the communicated information itself, a part of the information, a thumbnail image obtained by reducing the information, It may be an image representing at least part of information read from the information.

  The server 100 creates a display screen on which information representing the communication history is arranged in the order determined in step S4 (step S6), and transmits information for displaying the screen to the terminal device 300 (step S7). The terminal device 300 that has received the information displays a history display screen on the display 33 (step S8).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a history display screen. The history display screen of FIG. 5 includes a display 501 representing a facsimile reception history, a display 502 representing a mail reception history, and a display 503 representing a facsimile transmission history. In the screen of FIG. 5, the displays 501 to 503 are arranged in order of communication date and time in each communication means (facsimile, mail), that is, in order of new communication date and time in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 5. As an example, the communication content itself is displayed on the screen of FIG. 5 as a display representing the communication history.

  By displaying in this way, even if the user of the terminal device 300 communicates using a plurality of communication means as a communication history with the designated communication partner, The communication history can be confirmed in a time series. In other words, for example, when a user of the terminal device 300 communicates with the communication destination by facsimile, receives a mail from the communication destination, and then receives a facsimile, the communication history of the facsimile is also transmitted in that order. The history can also be confirmed in time series on one screen. Therefore, the user of the terminal device 300 does not perform the complicated work of extracting the communication history for each communication means and confirming them in time series, and the communication history with the designated communication partner regardless of the communication means. Can be confirmed at a glance.

  Preferably, server 100 determines a display mode of information representing each communication history (step S5). As an example, the server 100 determines a display mode of information representing each of the communication histories based on information regarding user operations in communication represented by the communication histories. The communication history includes information related to user operations. When the communication history is a mail communication history, the information related to the user operation includes read / unread of the mail, replied / not replied, and the like. When the communication history is a facsimile communication history, the information on the user operation includes display / non-display of the receiving side facsimile information on the terminal device. Since the facsimile information on the transmission side is not normally output such as printing, it is assumed that the information on the user's operation is always read.

  The screen in FIG. 5 displays a communication history including a user operation indicating that the user has confirmed (read, already output) and a communication history not including the user operation in different display modes. As an example, the communication history that has not been confirmed by the user is displayed surrounded by a double line (displays 501 and 502). As another example, the server 100 may change the display color and density of information representing the communication history or change the display size depending on whether or not the user confirms.

  As described above, even when information representing a large number of communication histories is displayed on the history display screen due to different display modes according to user operations, the user can easily determine the priority order of communication histories to be confirmed. Become.

  As another example, the server 100 determines a display mode of information representing each communication history based on the information amount of the communication history. As an example, the server 100 stores an information amount threshold value in advance, and a communication history having an information amount larger than the threshold value is partially hidden so that the information amount becomes smaller than the threshold value. Display. In the screen of FIG. 5, a display 502 represents a display in which a part of the received mail is deleted. As another example, when displaying the information itself communicated as information representing the communication history, the server 100 may delete and display the blank portion of the information. By becoming such a display mode, the user can check many communication histories at a time on the display screen of the terminal device 300.

  As another example, when displaying the communication information itself as information representing the communication history, the server 100 adjusts and displays the display size of each information so that the display sizes of characters included in the information are uniform. May be. By becoming such a display mode, it becomes easy for the user to check the communication history of different types of communication means on the display screen of the terminal device 300.

  As yet another example, the server 100 may change the content of information representing the communication history according to the position where the information is displayed. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating another example of the history display screen. In the history display screen of FIG. 6, images 601, 602, and 604 representing the type of communication and the date and time of communication are displayed at both ends of the screen as information representing the communication history. In the center of the screen, an image 603 representing the communication information itself is displayed as information representing the communication history. In this case, after arranging the communication history based on the communication date and time, the server 100 determines the content of information representing the communication history for each communication history according to the arranged position. By becoming such a display mode, the user can check many communication histories at a time on the display screen of the terminal device 300.

  The terminal device 300 that has displayed the history display screen of FIG. 5 or 6 on the display 33 may accept a user operation on the screen. For example, the terminal device 300 receives a scroll operation for the screen (step S9). In this case, the terminal device 300 transmits information representing the user operation to the server 100 (step S10).

  The server 100 that has received the information determines the display mode of each piece of information representing the communication history on the history display screen according to the user operation represented by the information (step S11). As described above, when the information displayed at the center of the screen is different from the information displayed at the edge, in step S11, the server 100 displays again according to the display position of each information representing the communication history to be displayed. An aspect (and / or display content) is determined. Then, the server 100 creates information for displaying the display screen (step S12), and transmits the information to the terminal device 300 (step S13). The terminal device 300 that has received the information updates the history screen displayed on the display 33 based on the information (step S14).

<Functional configuration>
FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a specific example of a functional configuration of server 100 for performing the above-described operation. Each function of FIG. 7 is mainly realized by the CPU 10 when the CPU 10 of the server 100 reads the program stored in the ROM 11 onto the RAM 12 and executes it. However, at least a part of the functions may be realized by other hardware shown in FIG. 2 or hardware such as an electric circuit (not shown).

  Referring to FIG. 7, CPU 10 of server 100 includes a designation unit 101, an acquisition unit 102, and a display control unit 103. The designation unit 101 accepts designation of a communication partner from the terminal device 300 based on a user operation of the terminal device 300.

  The acquisition unit 102 acquires, from the communication device 500, a history of communication performed using the communication device 500 between the user of the terminal device 300 and a designated communication partner. The HDD 13 of the server 100 includes an access information storage unit 131 for storing access information for each of a plurality of communication means such as mail and facsimile for each user. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining access information stored in the access information storage unit 131. Referring to FIG. 8, access information for communicating with the user using communication means is stored in access information storage section 131 for each of a plurality of types of communication means. The access information is a facsimile number when the communication means is a facsimile, a mail address when the communication means is mail, and a telephone number when the communication means is a telephone.

  The acquisition unit 102 reads access information for each of a plurality of communication means for each of the user of the terminal device 300 and the designated communication partner from the access information storage unit 131, and a communication history of a combination of these is performed on the communication device. Get from 500.

  The display control unit 103 performs processing for displaying a communication history between the user of the terminal device 300 and the designated communication partner in time series based on the communication date and time (communication timing). For this purpose, the display control unit 103 includes a determination unit 104 and a creation unit 105.

  Even if the communication history is a communication history of each of a plurality of types of communication means, the determination unit 104 determines the display order based on the communication date and time regardless of the type of communication means. The creation unit 105 creates information for causing the terminal device 300 to display a history display screen in which information representing the communication history is arranged in the determined display order.

  Preferably, the determination unit 104 determines the display mode of information representing the communication history and the content to be displayed. For example, when the acquisition unit 102 acquires information related to a user operation in the communication represented by the communication history together with the communication history, the determination unit 104 is based on the information related to the user operation in the communication represented by the communication history. The display mode of information representing each communication history is determined. For example, the determination unit 104 sets different display modes for a communication history including a user operation indicating that the user has confirmed (read, already output) and a communication history not including the user operation.

  For example, when an image representing the communication information itself is displayed as information representing the communication history, the determination unit 104 determines a display mode of information representing each communication history based on the information amount of the communication history. For example, the determination unit 104 hides a part of the communication history in which the information amount of the communication history is larger than the threshold value so that the information amount becomes smaller than the threshold value.

  Further, for example, the determination unit 104 determines the content of the information representing the communication history according to the position where the information is displayed. For example, the determination unit 104 displays the content of information representing the communication history as an image representing the type of communication and the date and time of communication in the case of the communication history displayed on both ends of the screen, and displays it at the center of the screen. In the case of a communication history, an image representing the communication information itself is used.

  For example, when an image representing the communication information itself is displayed as information representing the communication history, the determination unit 104 adjusts the size of each information so that the sizes of characters included in the information representing the communication history to be displayed are uniform. To do.

  FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing a specific example of a functional configuration of terminal apparatus 300 for performing the above operation. Each function of FIG. 9 is mainly realized by the CPU 30 when the CPU 30 of the terminal device 300 reads the program stored in the ROM 31 onto the RAM 32 and executes it. However, at least a part of the functions may be realized by other hardware shown in FIG. 3 or hardware such as an electric circuit (not shown).

  Referring to FIG. 9, CPU 30 of terminal device 300 includes an operation input unit 301, a transmission unit 302, a screen input unit 303, and a display control unit 304. The operation input unit 301 receives an input of an operation signal based on a user operation on the operation device 34. When the user operation is an operation of designating a communication partner and instructing to display a communication history with the partner, the transmission unit 302 sends information specifying the designated communication partner to the server 100. Send.

  The screen input unit 303 receives input of information for displaying a history display screen from the server 100. The display control unit 304 displays a history display screen on the display 33 based on the information.

<Operation flow>
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an operation flow in the server 100. The operation shown in the flowchart of FIG. 10 is realized by the CPU 10 of the server 100 reading a program stored in the ROM 11 onto the RAM 12 and executing the program so as to realize each function of FIG. The operation of FIG. 10 is started in the server 100 at the timing when the user of the terminal device 300 logs in to the server 100 using the terminal device 300, for example.

  Referring to FIG. 10, CPU 10 of server 100 waits for reception of information specifying a communication partner designated by the user of terminal device 300 from terminal device 300.

  When the information is received from the terminal device 300 (YES in step S101), the CPU 10 specifies the user of the terminal device 300 and the designated communication partner as the communicator of the communication history to be displayed (step S103). And CPU10 acquires the log | history of communication between these users from each communication apparatus 500 (step S105). That is, in step S105, the CPU 10 specifies the access information in each of the two or more types of communication means for each of the user of the terminal device 300 and the designated communication partner, and the communication performed by a combination of these access information. Is acquired from the communication device 500. At this time, the CPU 10 may acquire a mail communication history including the access information as “CC” or “BCC” from the mail server 500B according to the setting.

  Based on the communication date and time of each of one or more communication histories acquired from each of the plurality of communication devices 500, the CPU 10 determines the display order of information representing the communication histories regardless of the type of communication (step S107). Preferably, CPU 10 further determines the display mode of each information representing the communication history to be displayed in accordance with information representing the user operation included in the communication history, the amount of information, the position to be displayed on the screen, and the like ( Step S109). Then, the CPU 10 creates a display screen that displays information representing each of the acquired one or more communication histories in time series based on the respective communication dates and times (step S111). The CPU 10 causes the terminal device 300 to display a history display screen by transmitting information for displaying the display screen created in step S111 to the terminal device 300 (step S113).

  Thereafter, when CPU 10 receives operation information representing a scroll operation from terminal device 300 (YES in step S115), CPU 10 again determines a display mode such as a display position of information representing a communication history on the screen (step S109). A display screen is created (step S111). Then, the CPU 10 transmits information for displaying the display screen to the terminal device 300 (step S113). CPU10 repeats said step S109-S113, whenever the operation information showing scroll operation is received from the terminal device 300. FIG. Thereby, the display screen of the terminal device 300 is updated according to a user's scroll operation.

<Effect of Embodiment>
By performing the above operation in the server 100 which is a display control apparatus, even when communication is performed between users using a plurality of types of communication means, these different types of communication means are mixed. In this state, the communication history between the users is displayed on the terminal device 300 in an integrated manner. Therefore, the user can check the communication history between the users in time series regardless of the communication means.

[Second Embodiment]

Do not repeat the explanation.

<Overview of operation>
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an outline of the operation of the system according to the second embodiment. Referring to FIG. 11, after the history display screen is displayed as described above in terminal device 300 (step S8), terminal device 300 displays one communication history from among the information representing the displayed communication history. The selection is accepted (step S21). In step S21, for example, when the display 33 is a touch panel, the user can select the communication history as the communication history related to the reply by touching the information representing the displayed communication history.

  When receiving the selection of the communication history, the terminal device 300 transmits information indicating the selected communication history to the server 100 as operation information (step S22). The server 100 that has received the information identifies the communication means used for realizing the communication represented by the selected communication history, and determines the communication means used for the reply (step S23).

  Next, the server 100 determines a reply destination (step S23). When the selected communication history is communication between the user of the terminal device 300 and another user, the server 100 identifies the other user and determines it as a reply partner. Then, the server 100 determines the access information in the communication means used for the reply out of the access information stored for the user as the reply destination.

  In the communication history, when the communication means is mail, a further communication partner may be designated by “CC” or “BCC”. When such a communication history is selected in step S21, the server 100 preferably extracts all communication partners specified in the selected communication history as communication partner candidates to send back. The server 100 transmits information for displaying a selection screen with one or more extracted communication partners as options to the terminal device 300, and accepts selection of a communication partner to be returned from the user of the terminal device 300.

  The server 100 passes the access information of the communication partner to be returned to the communication device for realizing the communication means used for the reply, and instructs the creation of a reply form (step S22). Upon receiving the instruction, the communication device creates a reply form with the access information specified in accordance with the instruction as a transmission destination (step S24), and transmits information for displaying the form to the terminal device 300 (step S24). Step S25).

  The terminal device 300 that has received the information displays a screen for creating a reply based on the information on the display 33 (step S26). Upon receiving a user operation for inputting information such as text (step S27), the terminal device 300 creates a reply according to the user operation (step S28). When a user operation for instructing transmission of a reply is received (step S29), the terminal device 300 passes the created reply information to the communication device 500 to instruct transmission (step S30). The communication device that has received the instruction transmits the passed information to the designated transmission destination, and stores it in the memory as a communication history between the user of the terminal device 300 and the designated transmission destination (step S31). .

<Functional configuration>
In order to perform the above operation, as shown in FIG. 7, CPU 10 of server 100 further includes a selection unit 106 and an instruction unit 107.

  The selection unit 106 accepts selection of information representing one communication history from information representing each communication history displayed in time series on the display 33 of the terminal device 300 from the terminal device 300.

  The instructing unit 107 creates a form for replying to a communication person included in the communication history selected by the communication means corresponding to the selected communication history in order to realize a communication means corresponding to the selected communication history. The communication device 500 is instructed.

<Operation flow>
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an operation flow of the server 100 according to the second embodiment.
